Patent number: 8286629Abstract: A nebulizer includes a nebulizer body a relay pipe. The nebulizer body includes a connection portion that has an aerosol lead-out port to lead out aerosol, and the relay pipe includes a connection portion that has an aerosol introduction port to introduce the aerosol. The nebulizer body the relay pipe can take a first connection state in which the relay pipe detachably connected to the nebulizer body and a second connection state in which the relay pipe is connected to the nebulizer body so as to be not able to be detached from the nebulizer body. In the first connection state, the aerosol introduction port and the aerosol lead-out port are communicated with each other. In the second connection state, the aerosol lead-out port is blocked by a blocking portion provided in the relay pipe. Therefore, the nebulizer in which reuse of the nebulizer body or relay pipe is simply prohibited after the usage can be provided by the configuration.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2009Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Omron Healthcare Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masayuki Esaki, Kentaro Mori, Makoto Tabata, Kei Asai, Yosuke Fujii

Publication number: 20120247518Abstract: In a thin plate member washing apparatus, tap water showering down from water flow holes of a water flow plate makes contact with outer rotary blades and inner rotary blades provided in a rotary supporting member, thereby rotating the rotary supporting member. Moreover, the tap water falling on a mesh member held by a mesh member holding portion flows over a front surface and a back surface of the mesh member based on a centrifugal force due to rotation of the mesh member and removes medicinal fluid residue deposited on the mesh member. The medicinal fluid residue removed from the mesh member is directly carried by the tap water and discharged to the outside of the thin plate member washing apparatus through a fluid outlet opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2012Publication date: October 4, 2012Applicant: OMRON HEALTHCARE CO., LTD.Inventors: Masayuki ESAKI, Kei ASAI, Kentaro MORI, Makoto TABATA, Yusaku SAKODA, Toshiro FURUSAWA, Masao MAEDA, Yusuke KATO
